Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Uses of Hot Pepper Jelly/Sauce, Chutneys, and Jams

With all of my autumn canning/cooking, some answers and a question:


31 Ways to Eat Hot Pepper Jelly and canned Pepper Sauce


For me, it makes anything tasty - including burgers. Great with cheese and cream cheese. All cheese requires some fruity accompaniment. Really fine as a meat glaze. Heck, I dip my breakfast hard-boiled egg in some, and put some on scrambled eggs. I put some on rice too. It's not for little children.


10 Ways to Use Chutneys


For me, with rice, or on ham or turkey sandwiches


Fruit Jams and Jellies


Are not just for breads and toast. I think, best of all with cheese and meat. Or cream cheese or yoghurt.  Not to forget on crepes and Swedish Pancakes. And venison requires a jam or jelly on the side just as pork requires applesauce. Lean meats need a kicker.


Apple Butter


For me, best on ham, chicken, or turkey sammiches. Also good with the things listed here.


Lemon Curd


Supposedly used for scones, but I like it on fresh fruit or I won't eat the fruit - except raspberries


                                                How do you like to use these condiments?

Chutney:

Chutney to make boring meatloaf tastier

Apple butter:
Use it to replace half the fat in a muffin recipe. Muffins are just cupcakes, but the apple butter will make them yummier.
Spread on bottom of pie crust when making apple pie
to give more intense apple flavor
Make apple newtons (only works if you have cooked it very dry: make circular sugar cookies and sandwich w apple butter.
Use it as an icing on a plain yellow cake instead of those sicky sweet things made w confectioner's sugar (again: must be cooked thick and relatively dry)
Make ham roll ups (pig w apple in mouth) for cocktail tray w apple butter in middle
Tea sandwiches w pepperidge farm white bread w crusts cut off
Roll up a pork roast w apple butter, garlic and mustard (tie w string) mmmm
Or just serve apple butter on the side w any pork meal

Can't imagine having good jam, jelly, or apple butter and using it on anything besides a hot biscuit. The comments about pepper sauce and pepper jelly remind me of two of my favorite things: relishes and chow-chow. There's no meat or beans (especially white beans or black-eyed peas) that aren't improved by a good relish. Fine Relishes

Major Grey's chutney or mango chutney in the mix for chicken salad sandwiches!

Apple sauce on whole wheat toast in the morning to make you feel like you are having a fine french (well not quite) pastry with your morning coffee!

I put a jar of jam atop my favorite ricotta tart. Tart recipe: Line tart or pie pan with favorite pie crust. Filling: 1 lb ricotta, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well; spread in crust. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes. Pull out of oven and spread a jar of jam over the top - 8 oz or so will do. Pop back in the oven for 10 minutes.

Also good if you top the filling with sliced fruit before you bake it. Pears, plums, figs, peaches... All good.
